About Raia
Apostolova
Raia Apostolova obtained her doctoral degree in sociology and social anthropology from Central European University, Budapest. Her dissertation, Moving labor power and historical forms of migration, looks at the formation of three major categories: the internationalist socialist worker, the social benefit tourist and the economic migrant. The author argues that we need to exceed the legal frameworks of migration that are readily available to us and interrogate the very spaces (historical, ideological, and socio-political) of their making in order to understand the relation between migration and capitalism.
